Connect the VOXL 2 I/O using the UART port on the 5G modem
-
@Alex-Kushleyev I see.
I'll try to splice the connection for GND, SDA, and SCL and connect them to the J19 on VOXL2.In this case, should the GND, SDA, and SCL pins be connected to both the J9 on the 5G modem and the J19, or just to the J19?
-
@SMRazaRizvi just J19 for gnd, sda and scl.
Then you still have gnd, 3.3V, rx, tx going to GPS.

@Alex-Kushleyev Works like a magic!!
Thank you so much

@SMRazaRizvi awesome..
I want to look into why running the GPS driver on the DSP did not result in RTK corrections getting through.. This would simplify your setup.
Can you please help me by telling me the topic name that is published by the RTK (rtcm) publishing app? I think it is just not going through to the DSP (being filtered out) for some reason. Also, just curious what app are you using to publish the mavlink messages with RTK (rtcm) corrections?

@Alex-Kushleyev Sure.
But currently, I've crashed my drone after it suddenly flipped 180 roll, and crashed on the ground while I was flying.
For some Here's the log:
https://review.px4.io/plot_app?log=2a41a57f-5028-4619-88dd-cebdde721026
Can you see what's the issue here?

I took a quick look, at the very end it looks like motor 2 (green) was commanded zero output
If the PWM range on VOXL2_IO is not calibrated properly, if the mixer is outputting zero, it could result in VOXL2_IO commanding low enough PWM to motor that can cause it to stop.
Can you please let me know if your motors are spinning right after you arm the vehicle (but before you raise the thrust), or they spin up only after you arm AND then raise the throttle stick?
-
@Alex-Kushleyev The motors were all working fine since the start. I flew the drone for a while actually and then it suddenly crashed.
-
@SMRazaRizvi , As I mentioned in my previous post, the plot shows that for some reason there was a command for Motor 2 to go to zero (which would convert to the minimum PWM value of 1000). Do you remember if you have performed some aggressive maneuver at the end, which would trigger this?
Also, can you please perform acuator test using GCS and figure out at which actuator output value, your motors actually spin up?

@Eric-Katzfey In my case I am receiving data as @Alex-Kushleyev explains with
stty -F /dev/ttyHS2 115200 cat /dev/ttyHS2
and in the script in /usr/bin/voxl-px4-start I see that section @Eric-Katzfey
but when it comes to running voxl-px4 it autodetects with different bauds to the GPS. Is it necessary to change it somewhere else?
I have no problems with the MAG. It detects it perfectly.
I have the RX and TX of the GPS connected exclusively to the J9 of the 5G, and the rest, to the J19.I also have the RX and TX of the IO Board connected to the RX and TX of the J19.
I have also tried disconnecting the IO Board and leaving only the GPS on the J9.SOLVED: I change in the file voxl-px4-start from M0052 to M0054. Thanks!!!
